Bullgaurd causing laptop to run slow

Ganga

As I posted earlier I installed Bullgaurd Antivirus onto my laptop that is running on Windows 10 ,I only installed it as I found the log on details that I used on my Windows XP desktop unit, it was a 3 year paid program and still is valid for about 9 months.
However since installing it the laptop is really running slow and the screen was freezing so I have removed it from the laptop ,seems ok now.
I have clicked on settings and checked the security program and it says Windows Antivirus is activated as well as the firewall.
Is there anything else I need to do ?
Thanks for any help given.

You've removed it which is the main thing.  Many people here also run Malwarebytes free manual scan (rather than paid for real-time scanner);  https://www.malwarebytes.com/premium/

Thanks for the help/info ,I have downloaded that program now.

Just enable Windows Defender that's build in free with Windows 10. It's efficient. If 2 different AV programs are running at one time, that will also cripple a machines performance.
